St Mary's Church dates back to at least the 13th century, Swynnerton is listed in the Doomsday book identifying the lord in 1066 as Brothir (of Oaken) and in 1086, Edelo (of Rauceby), who was in service to Robert de Stafford, the tenant-in-chief. The record shows the settlement consisted of ten villagers' households, and five smallholders. Property consisted of eight ploughlands suitable for one lord's plough teams, and six men's plough teams. Other resources are listed as ten acres of meadow, and one league of woodland. The owner's value was estimated at £2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swynnerton Its also No.7 in Neville Malkin's "Grand Tour" of the Potteries http://www.thepotteries.org/tour/007.htm
